I am using your webdatagrid along with filtering. My application needs to be section 508 complaint.
When I open the drop down menu to select a filter, jaws reads all the filters instead of reading the filter I am on in the list. As I go up and down using arrow keys or tabbing, jaws repeats all the filters from top to bottom.
I added a clientside event for FilterDropdownDisplayed and see that e._behavior._events._behavior._targetContainer.innerText="Clear FilterEqualsDoes Not EqualBegins WithEnds WithContainsDoes Not Contain"
These are also set:
e._behavior._events._behavior._targetContainer.all[1].innerHTML="Clear Filter"
e._behavior._events._behavior._targetContainer.all[2].innerHTML="Equals"
But it actually never reads one filter I am on, it read all the 7 filters.
Please help me as this is the last thing I need to do before my application can be deployed.
Thanks

Hello Shehla Haider,
I tested this and it seems that it depends on the browser how jaws read the filter dropdown. I reproduced the behavior you described under IE. Under Firefox jaws reads only the filter which is on focus, which is what you want, and under Chrome it behaves differently from the first two.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello,
I am trouble with filtering with JAWS.
I am able to scroll through all the filters but when hit enter key or space to enter the filtering text, nothing happens and it actually moves to the next listitem.
It works fine as long as the JAWS is not running. I need to be able to filter using JAWS.
